Not like V-Max
The Varmageddon bullets are the best direct competitor to the V-Max. These are constructed very different from the 2 above listed bullets. These could be a little hard at .223 velocities unless you have a longer barrel. I shoot these over 26.7 grains of W748 and get excellent accuracy. (3100fps out of a 24 inch barrel with a NATO chamber) For carbines and such try the Varmageddon's if you are getting runners and spinners.
These are nice shooters
I shoot mine out of a very large chambered 5.56 "24" rifle. Load development was very easy. Fed Premium Cases, WSR primers and 26.7 grains of W748. 26.4 - 26.9 shot sub MOA. 26.7 shined with no pressure @ 3100 fps. and .45 - .55 groups. No Coyotes yet with this load.
Pawpawbruce
I loaded up a few test rounds with different grains of imr4064, and this bullet. With 23 grains I was putting 3 shots in the size of a quarter at 100 yards in my hand built ar15. A buddy of mine shot 4 shots touching each other in his colt ar15 at 100 yards. These bullets shot straight and true. Going to load more with same recipe and see what they will do at 200 yards.
High BC and accurate too
These load easy and are very accurate. I have shot them for some time from my 22-250 and even done so in 32mph winds. Even 35mph gusting winds did not keep me from placing shots at 300 yds with these. And they are great on Coyotes and even Prairie Dogs. I like these since they have such a high BC and I have used them on shots taken at 880yds and 10-15mph cross winds. They will stay with you when other bullets fail. I have shot a double on the dogs (that is 2 with one shot) and I would not have been able to do that if my bullet exploded. You can load these hot as you want. FPS wise,, As a matter of fact the faster the better in my gun. A friend swears by these in his 220 Swift. Look for them in 500 packs same Lot #s Sure they cost a little more than some bullets, But if your hunts are memorable, then it was worth that little extra.
great
I use them in my Custom made AR's that are built to reach out. I ring the 600 gong shot for shot as fast as you can recover and see what your shooting at. Use them for Prairie Dogs and Cyotes the dogs around here won't let you get closer than 300 yards but its no problem to set up further than that and work over a whole town of dogs.
Excellent Product
Consistent hits on PD's at 300+ yards. Holds Sub MOA at 100 in Savage Model 12 BTCSS, 223. Excellent expansion. 60 Grn bullets, Mixed LC Brass, Remington BR 7 1/2 primers, TAC powder. Full length resize. Slug uniformity better than Sierra and Hornaday for fit and finish. Ogive more uniform.
Very good results
Obtained under 1/2 moa with two different rifles with 1/9" twist barrels. Absolutely solid consistent performance. Devastating on vermin and coyotes.
great for praire dogs
for the price it ir reasonable but in the fild it dose the job and some the crimps on the side make for easy reloding but dose not make it as accuate
